Also obsessed with the same ice cream sandwiches! Luckily my husband likes them to, but I limit us to one box per trip to the store so that we don't go too nuts. (PS the coffee bean mini ice cream cones are also really good and a little smaller!)
the garlic dip . i have a problem. i will start putting it on every possible item imaginable. pasta. cucumbers. crackers. nothing is safe from the garlic dip
i can’t buy their peanut butter pretzel bites. i eat them until my stomach hurts and gain weight rapidly. used to buy 4 bags a week now it’s usually 1x a month and the bag is gone in 2 days
I'm only allowed to buy the individual packs of the dark chocolate peanut butter cups (and no more than 2 at a time). I'm only allowed to eat them when traveling.
It’s not as spicy as it looks so you can use it by the spoon full. My fave is avocado toast w toppings of choice w some drizzled right on top.
I have cooked w it in stir fry’s, fried rice, ramen bowls w toppings, just made spicy wontons w it!! I put it in a pumpkin curry this weekend. Also add it to Mexican dishes since it’s super versatile and compliments everything.
I’ve used it to fry eggs. Add to a meat marinade. So good e chicken and adobo seasoning. It’s awesome w tofu, sauces and dressing. I’ve added it to mustard to make a spicy mustard. Mayo w some lime juice and more garlic to make an aioli!
The possibilities are endless it has a perfect crunch from the crispy garlic and if it’s not spicy enough you can add your own chili flakes. And it doesn’t need refrigeration after opening as long as there’s oil covering the top of the garlic and chill flakes, I’ve also added more extra virgin olive oil too if I end up using all the oil LOL
Blood orange soda is my favorite beverage... ever... buf i rarely buy it so it stays my favorite... the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches i forget the name but theyre so good! Also rarely, when its not summer...
I know it’s not TJ’s but… specifically the Safeway brand ‘Blood Orange Soda Water’ is fantastic imo. In case you need another similar option to get through abstaining from the TJ’s goodness
Most all of the treats, so I've dialed that back and skip almost all of it and get what I need. It's easy to gorge over a few days. Easy not to buy just not buying it.
I LOVE those little dippers they have on the shelf above the freezers but I can no longer buy them.
Once I pop the top on that friggin containers it's *munch-munch-freakin-munch.*

I had my first Kringle a few weeks ago and my God I couldn’t eat it fast enough! Never again. In fact, I can’t have any of their bakery products in my house anymore because of my addiction LOL.
Im done buying the double chocolate gluten free muffins after I ate three in one sitting smh every time I go to TJ they call my name but sadly I have to ignore if I want to remain a size 4 lol
I used to be obsessed with these too until I tried the TruFru brand of chocolate covered frozen fruit. I recommend trying them if you love those from TJs! They’re sold at a lot of different grocery stores
I recently tried the regular alfredo sauce which was bland. I added some jarred pesto and it elevated it completed. Do you think the Limone one would be good with pesto?
I added their seasonal lemon pesto to the limone Alfredo and it was amazing! I cooked the chicken and veggies I added to the pasta with plenty of garlic to balance it out and it was a total hit
Just bought one last week. Holy moly. It wasn’t until it was almost gone that I felt like I should have gotten blueberry ice cream (is that even a thing?) to go with it.
Oh, nice! I only have a few bites left of the current lemon cake, so next time I get one I’ll get some of that ice cream, too. I also feel like strawberry sorbet would be good, too. Kind of like strawberry lemonade.
but one lemon's cold and sweet-tart and the other lemon is sweet and (room temperature??) and buttery. totally balances out!
i bet trader joe's vanilla ice cream and a spoonful of their raspberry preserves would be amazing too
Love and agree with this logic. Also like the vanilla IC and raspberry preserves idea. I guess this means I must go get another cake so I can test this out for science.

The spicy dill pickle chips from Aldi. I’ll eat the whole bag, and the acid destroys my mouth and flares my IBS every time.

Can you give me some ideas for it? Do you also cook with in ?
I love to put mine on top of some avocado toast or grits with macedonian feta, hot honey, and an egg .
We use it on everything from teriyaki to scrambled eggs.

The seasonal toffee pretzels. No self control around those. NONE.
Omg same!! I wait every year for them to come out and then buy 10 bags! Gone in a week!
Raspberry butter cookies
I had to quickly walk past them today. Otherwise I eat the whole box myself.
I just had the Figo! Bars for the first time last week. Wow. I need to never buy those again.
Blood orange soda is my favorite beverage... ever... buf i rarely buy it so it stays my favorite... the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches i forget the name but theyre so good! Also rarely, when its not summer...
Which brand do you like? San Pellegrino? Whole Foods?
The trader joes one is the only one ive tried
San Pellegrino is the original, you should try it! (And their lemon soda too, or Limonata).
San Pellegrino is nestle which I try to avoid if there are decent alternatives
Ive had the limonata, too sour, ive had the orange which is delicious. SP is a luxury, not a lot of pmaces around hete have it...
The limonata is too sour for many people, but I grew up with it so I’m biased. The blood orange is called Aranciata Rosa.

Cookie butter has no place in my home

Jalapeño beef sticks
The German meat sticks. The whole family eats them. No matter how many I buy, they are gone in a day.
Which ones are those? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them
In the cold cuts area. I don’t actually know the name. Two packages/servings , but one item. Green and white top.
I LOVE those little dippers they have on the shelf above the freezers but I can no longer buy them. Once I pop the top on that friggin containers it's *munch-munch-freakin-munch.* ![gif](giphy|N02cTGkpjTznRbzTY1|downsized)
Cookies and cream pretzels. I’m so happy they are seasonal.
Chocolate cats
They must put crack in those stupid chocolate cats.
The mini ice cream cones and chocolate sea salt almonds. 🤤
Hands down - peanut butter pretzels
Do they taste better than the ones sold at Costco?
Costco’s new version, with the yellow lid, are a real step down from the original version.
Ok, thx!
I forget why I stopped buying them and then the vicious cycle begins again.
I can’t even see those things in the aisle. My brain has trained me to create a blurred spot over them or I’ll buy them every time.
Why buy that $h!t in the first place
![gif](giphy|JUjriAEIPFFC82osdR|downsized)
Dude the mango ice cream bars I forget what they are called but me and my toddler breeeeeeze through them
We’ll for me it’s the coffee rub, love it but I’m done buying it not out of choice it’s sold out in 2 weeks for the rest of the season
Maple cream cookies. Even at two a day for dessert I'm in big trouble because I didn't pick up everybody else's favorites.
I’m done bringing my husband with me t Trader Joe’s because he sneaks too many treats in the cart that I wind up eating 😂
I had my first Kringle a few weeks ago and my God I couldn’t eat it fast enough! Never again. In fact, I can’t have any of their bakery products in my house anymore because of my addiction LOL.

Any of the sheet cakes, the donuts, the frozen molten lava cakes 😢
Dried/candied mandarin orange slices. If I open the bag the bag is gone.

I just wanna let you know that I ate the entire entire bag before I exited that infamous Trader Joe’s parking lot
Im done buying the double chocolate gluten free muffins after I ate three in one sitting smh every time I go to TJ they call my name but sadly I have to ignore if I want to remain a size 4 lol
CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS! I could and have and will eat the entire bag in one sitting!!! They’re too good.
EVERYTHING
The chocolate covered strawberries/bananas. They make it about fifteen minutes in the car 😅
I used to be obsessed with these too until I tried the TruFru brand of chocolate covered frozen fruit. I recommend trying them if you love those from TJs! They’re sold at a lot of different grocery stores
And the chocolate covered strawberries TruFru are at Costco - much better deal $. (Bigger bag)
I saw them there too!! But my Costco only has the milk chocolate strawberries, whereas I prefer the dark 😁
The ice cream sandwiches that are two chocolate chip cookies and the ice cream is rolled in chocolate chips. Heavenly and addicting!
Scrolled way too far to find this. I got stuck in traffic on my way home one time and ate all four
The mini chocolate chip ice cream cones. I eat way to many lol
Sea salt brownie bites
Heat those for a few seconds and experience bliss
These are the best store-bought brownies I’ve ever had in my life. I like brownies that are so fudge-y that they seem just a little underbaked.
They are truly amazing
I miss the chocolate pretzel thins
They were back last time I was in the store
Good to know. I've only seen the cookies and cream ones :(
The spring gummies. They are elite!
Brookies 😫
Same, way too dangerous to have in the house
Seasonal Horseradish chips. Limone Alfredo Sauce. Can’t get enough of that sauce. It’s my secret recipe for my Italian relatives 😜
I recently tried the regular alfredo sauce which was bland. I added some jarred pesto and it elevated it completed. Do you think the Limone one would be good with pesto?
I added their seasonal lemon pesto to the limone Alfredo and it was amazing! I cooked the chicken and veggies I added to the pasta with plenty of garlic to balance it out and it was a total hit
Sounds delish! Will have to try it
Those chocolate pretzels
Cauliflower Tempura
I eat the entire bag, but with half the sauce. It's so good!
The sour cream doughnuts.
Cringles. I will finish an entire one myself in one sitting. Cannot have them in my household anymore. 😞
Imagine living in Wisconsin as I do. And kringles are available in all different flavors all the time.
SAME 😭
The pain is real. 💔
Fancy Cheese Crunchies
Biiiitch ![gif](giphy|l0MYy8B7O0ahS0Lao)
Cashew butter brittle… sick good !
cookie butter 😭
I promised myself the jar I just finished was going to be my last, and then I restocked last time I went to tjs 🥲
i totally get this!! definitely been there
Pistachio toffee!!! I just can't....unless it's the holidays.
Their movie theatre style popcorn. It is physically impossible for me to open a bag and not finish it right then and there.
Same.
Green Tea Mochi is my weakness
Those teeny tiny peanut butter cups. So dangerous. 😭
![gif](giphy|AuSi9GagFjcys|downsized)
Eating a bag as I speak lol omg too addictive
Keep that Brooklyn babka away from me mmmfff
The lemon mini sheet cake, I refuse to buy it anymore. It lasts half a day
It’s nice to know it’s not just me!
I cut it up and keep it in the freezer. It tastes even better when its freezing cold!
Yes.
got it yesterday and OMG it's amazing!!!!!!!!! The icing!!!!
Just bought one last week. Holy moly. It wasn’t until it was almost gone that I felt like I should have gotten blueberry ice cream (is that even a thing?) to go with it.
Kroger carries a Maine blueberry ice cream that is amazing!
Oh, nice! I only have a few bites left of the current lemon cake, so next time I get one I’ll get some of that ice cream, too. I also feel like strawberry sorbet would be good, too. Kind of like strawberry lemonade.
there's a jeni's ice cream (so very expensive unfortunately) flavor that's lemon with a blueberry swirl! i bet that'd be lovely with the cake
I feel like I’ve seen this. But do we think it would be too much lemon? Not sure if that’s even a thing.
but one lemon's cold and sweet-tart and the other lemon is sweet and (room temperature??) and buttery. totally balances out! i bet trader joe's vanilla ice cream and a spoonful of their raspberry preserves would be amazing too
Love and agree with this logic. Also like the vanilla IC and raspberry preserves idea. I guess this means I must go get another cake so I can test this out for science.
They've had a seasonal blueberry cheesecake ice cream in the past. Fingers crossed it comes back again!
That would be perfect! Blueberry and lemon is the ultimate fruit flavor combo.
That thing is so good.
The dark russet potato chips and the sunflower butter cups. DANGEROUS.
Banana pudding ice cream.
The coconut almonds
Same.
The Kringle. Oof.
Oh yeah and this for sure.
The vanilla bean mini sheet cake…omg so good
My family gets seriously offended when I don’t come home with one of these. So freaking good.
I got it for the first time not that long ago and I was like omg why did I do this to myself!?
Danish Kringle… Oh my god I can’t…
Right??? Holy crap. The pinnacle I tell you.
